I was not then, and I don't now. I put it in a pill bottle with RODI.

I had 13 fish in the 180 including 6 show size fish. Naso Tang/Blue Tang/Sailfin Tang/Emperor Angel/Yellow Tang/Fox Face. All of them except the yellow tang were 5"+. I was also using Bio-pellets and GFO off and on. Goes to show, no amount of filtration will take care of poor feeding habits.

Your heavy feeding wasnt necessarily the problem. It was what you were having to feed! LOL

I feed heavy. 3-4 times a day to 16 fish in a 120. No algae issues. Its just that 7 of those fish are chromis and my 2 largest fish are 5" max.

True tangs are messy fish :). I was feeding a pinch of two different types of flake, a pinch of pellets, two algae strips, and three frozen cubes per day.

The leopard wrasse is staying out longer and longer now. Fed her twice today and both times she actively ate. Very happy about that, was concerned I would have issues getting her to eat.

Duncan looks really happy.

Jealous of that wrasse, glad it's doing so well.

Added a colt coral to the back of the tank. Figure it will grow up and be a nice back drop.

Really nice PE on my gargonian. Think it approves of the new tank.

Completed my water change today. Cleaned out the skimmer, swapped out my carbon, and changed out the filter sock.

Ordered a full Apex from Emerald Bay East. Looking forward to getting it in. Turns out the full version has a variable dimming port on it, I didn't know that :p. Thanks to Emerald Bay East for saving me $100 in didn't need to spend.
